Hi Tobiah, Hey list I slightly remember that a question similar to this has already been discussed in the list. I also remember that most users were against this, and I personally agreed with that for several reasons:
a) Unwanted read message: If you hit delete when opened an e-mail and the next or previous e-mail is shown, you may have wanted to read that particular e-mail later but it will now appear as unread. You have to manually set it as unread again back in the Inbox overview. b) Security/Anti-Spam: What if the next/previous e-mail is a spam e-mail or worse contains a virus? Roundcube has the possibility to block external content (like images, scripts, and so on) but it is also possible that a virus was received from a mail address being part in your address book. Depending on the setting, this e-mail will be fully shown, including external contents. c) Overview: Now this one is more a personal question. Many people like it to go back to overview before opening a new e-mail. You're slower treating your mails like this, but you have more overview. Although you see that I'm FOR keeping it the way it actually is, I agree that a switch in the configuration file would be a good idea. This switch could define the standard behavior when having opened an e-mail (either go back to Inbox/Folder view or load next mail). - Claudio On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 6:08 PM, Tobiah <t...@tobiah.org> wrote: > I'm used to Thunderbird, and there a couple of features in it > that would make Roundcube far more useful to me. > > The first is the split window layout that Thunderbird uses. > I normally select the oldest message, and Thunderbird immediately > shows that message in another window.
